A lot of people are going to be unhappy with this name =/
Yeah. Wasn't it going to be SIL (Starcraft II Individual League)? I remember reading that somewhere on the forums. Edit: Saw it here. It's also called SIL on liquipedia.
Yeah weird to name it SSL :/ But hyped to watch it! Hopefully we will see not too many upsets in the qualifiers, i don't want to see a league where half the players don't really belong there...

Or SSL could rename itself now that it's on OGN, maybe something like OBS (OGN Broodwar Starleague)
why? the SSL has been running for 9 seasons now, and the last 3 were pretty big with decently large finals venue and now the coming season is gonna be on OGN.
if anything it should be SPOTV who should rename their league.
Besides we can't call it an OSL, its Sonic's league being hosted on OGN by Sonic, not an OGN league sponsored by sonic, theres a huge difference.
